Sanctions against OSCE Chair Elina Valtonen are a message to the world: “The Georgian Nightmare” intimidates diplomats, silences citizens and abandons European principles, Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, writes on X.

According to her, Europe should not turn a blind eye.

“The fines against the OSCE Chair are a signal to the world: Georgian Nightmare intimidates diplomats, silences citizens, and abandons European principles. Citizens’ voices are suppressed, democratic norms ignored, and freedom is under attack. Europe must not look away!” - Salome Zurabishvili writes.

For information, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has fined the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, GEL 5,000 for "blocking the road" on Rustaveli Avenue.
